In Ganci’s innovative and highly praised novel, book lovers find themselves in the very midst of ancient conflicts, only to be swept away with an entirely fresh perspective on mystical teachings found in scripture – now living lessons – filled with action and adventure.

Did God give men everything they needed to know a long time ago?

Or does revelation and the prophetic process continue into our modern day?

Is Scripture a set of understandings that must be blindly followed without the agreement of wisdom or reason?

Or does Scripture serve as a tool that enlightens minds of every age in a never-ending progression?

Some understandings have been routinely accepted for centuries by churches and organizations that hold to certain closed-minded agendas. But, is it a black and white issue?

Is it a one-or-the-other kind of question, with no in-between – no gray areas?

Joseph Ganci, award-winning author of ‘Gideon The Sound And The Glory’ believes there are many undiscovered nuggets of spiritual gold in the original manuscripts, thereby removing this conflict once and for all.

Ganci stated that “Fresh insights are unearthed when discovering hidden connecting details found in ancient scripture. These viewpoints are only revealed when man’s ability has sufficiently grown, and that he is now ready to receive them.”

“A thousand years from now,” Ganci stated, “our folklore will confirm that as a society we all took advice, knowledge, and direction from an all-knowing Oracle named Google.”

“I think that this is the time of the ‘quickening,’ meaning that man’s complete store of knowledge will continue to double. It is a time when a well-structured question can bring to light, deep wells of understanding, and a variety of possibilities long since hidden in dust and shadows.

“The earliest comments attached to biblical writings were found soon after its original publication. Modern explanation of the Old Testament, however, is harder still when considering the vast amount of time between passages. Attempting to connect the many missing dots, dates, and dashes from well-worn scriptures correctly is a massive undertaking. It is a stretch to follow the complicated ideas, language, and culture of such a bygone race of people. Making sense of their spoken customs, going over every little hint of a shadow is especially challenging. Connecting the many puzzle pieces from olden times that has been combed over by one hundred and fifty generations of scholars is especially daring. Fragments of seemingly unrelated events naturally stitch and hem together, here a little, and there a little, thus creating a patchwork of connecting threads that become a bright, attractive picture, insightful in its presentation, and yet simple and easy to imagine.”

This work is a one hundred and one percent collaboration with God. God did one hundred and one percent, and I did all the rest.”

Readers of ‘Gideon The Sound And The Glory’ will learn about the Jewish Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, the mysterious Golden Ephod, how, and why, David found himself at his battle with Goliath, and much, much more. This work illuminates the dark corners of scripture while engaging readers in a gripping narrative.

Ganci recently announced that the complete Kindle version will be available as a no-charge download for five days, March 12 through March 16, 2018.

Joseph Ganci was recently chosen as one of ’50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ in the 2017 Book Awards. ‘Gideon: The Sound and the Glory’ has received rave reviews from readers and reviewers alike. A recent reviewer stated, “Joseph Ganci’s prose is arresting, peppered with fantastic imagery and succinct descriptions of plot, characters, and setting.

Gideon: The Sound and the Glory will appeal to fans of political thrillers, adventure, and conflict-driven stories laced with intense action.” Other reviewers have used phrases such as “riveting,” “amazing” “deftly crafted” and “highly recommended.”

Author Joseph Ganci Announces New Spiritual Book Detailing Epic Adventures, ‘Gideon: The Sound and The Glory’

In this innovative debut, book lovers find themselves in the very midst of ancient conflicts, only to be swept away with an entirely fresh perspective on mystical teachings found in scripture – now living lessons – filled with action.

Author Joseph Ganci has announced the release of his spiritually inspiring book, ‘Gideon: The Sound and the Glory.’

Ganci pierces the veil with a penetrating vision of long held Bible mysteries that are far and away daring and unusual. He works within a framework of an engaging and dramatized fiction that, while exceedingly rich in detail, remains faithful to uphold spiritual principles. He bases his work on three primary pillars:

The rock-solid cornerstone is biblical history and geography. The creative arch is revelatory in its timing and issues. The research is concrete, firmly rooted in customs, languages, and traditions.

Unsung heroes and murderous villains, hidden forever in ancient shadows, now leap to life – blazing onto the pages of revelation. Gideon, a lowly woodcutter, is blessed by an angel to be the savior of all Israel. He does not know why or how and shrinks from this dangerous mission. The commandment to conquer the Midian Empire as one man seems all but impossible. But Gideon’s confidence grows as God guides his every step until he stands fearless and faithfully fulfills his destiny as, “A mighty man of valor.” The fierce warriors, burning towers and devastated cities contained in Gideon’s Journey, are but silver threads that weave into a sweeping tapestry of ancient intrigue. Running through and stitching together the entire saga is The Lord of the Covenant, or The Baal-Berith, also known as Gideon’s mysterious Ephod of Gold.

“I wrote this book,” Ganci stated, “as one day I was reading the Bible, and it was my fifth pass from cover to cover. I had just reached Judges Six when a phrase leaped off the page – And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, come down against the Midianites, and take before them ‘the waters unto Bethbarah’ and Jordan.”

“I started digging down and found it meant the shallow waters and the only fording place of the entire Jordan River. It was in effect a military dispatch – directing the army of Ephriam to cut off the desperate flight of the remaining Midian camel cavalry. Gideon would drive the enemy like hounds to the hunter. A long-held mystery started, to unravel, and with that, I was off to the races.”

‘Gideon: The Sound and the Glory’ has received rave reviews from readers and reviewers alike. A recent reviewer stated, “Joseph Ganci’s prose is arresting, peppered with wonderful imagery and succinct descriptions of plot, characters, and setting. The themes are masterfully created, and they are woven into the story in a way that allows the reader to enjoy both the inspiration the story offers and the accompanying action. The book explores powerful spiritual and political themes, capturing the conflicts and the dynamics of life within the community of God’s chosen people. Gideon: The Sound and the Glory will appeal to fans of political thrillers, adventure, and conflict-driven stories that are laced with intense action.” Other reviewers have used phrases such as “riveting,” “amazing” “deftly crafted” and “highly recommended.”

About Joseph Ganci:

Joseph Ganci is a Levite and a high priest and remains a passionate Italian. He is a Vietnam combat veteran and is the father of five daughters and five grandchildren. He resides in Texas.

Ganci, a Houston area resident, experienced the effect of the devastating hurricane firsthand and hopes to help by donating a portion of proceeds to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. He encourages others to do the same.

Hurricane Harvey stuck Texas in August of 2017. It was one of the most destructive hurricanes to ever hit the US, displacing over 30,000 people and causing billions of dollars in damage. The storm made landfall as a category 4 near Rockport, Texas, and produced 40-60 inches of rainfall as it moved through the Texas/Louisiana area. The damage was catastrophic, the economic effects are staggering, and the rebuilding and restoration efforts will take many years.

In response to the horrific damage, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and Judge Ed Emmett established the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. The fund accepts tax-deductible donations for victims affected by the floods. The fund is housed at the Greater Houston Community Foundation, at 501(c)(3) public charity.

Houston area resident and author Joseph Ganci has pledged to donate 90% of book proceeds from the sale of ‘Gideon: The Sound and the Glory’ to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund from mid-October 2017 to Easter, 2018. He hopes that many others will join him by doing the same.

“While this may seem by some to be a small effort on the surface,” Ganci stated, “the power is in the numbers. If everyone selling a product or service was to donate even a tiny percentage of their ongoing profits to this fund, the compound effect of those donations, for basic needs, temporary housing, restoration or emergency assistance, could make a real difference to everyone affected by this tragedy. We will be buying these products and services anyway, so why not make them really count for something more?”

“During the hurricane, the rain was relentless, and it was reminiscent of the typhoon season during my Vietnam combat experience. The powerful showers exploded in blinding wind-whipped sheets of fury. The rising waters came within eight feet of my ever sinking threshold door. All alone, I knelt and prayed mightily to the Lord for relief from the constant downpour. I placed my fate into His capable hands and retired to my bedchamber. I had half expected to wake up and be entirely engulfed by the rising tide. I awoke to find that my floor remained high and dry and that the flood waters had reversed its course back to the ocean. The view from my front gate was a temporary lakefront property, and that I stood upon the rock of salvation. Praise be ‘The Name’ of the Lord.

“Many were not as fortunate; my heart goes out to them. For some will be struggling for years to come – trying desperately to get their life back to normal.”

From ‘Gideon: The Sound and the Glory’: Another bolt of lightning darkened the sky. The sun had lost its face. Missiles of rain exploded in the dust, and the heavens dropped, weighed down by the burst of fast-moving clouds. The last of the western sky had blackened, constantly lit by cascades of brilliant-white lightning flashes. The rearmost cohort of the last one hundred chariots had already filled the Kishon Wadi when a sudden blast of wind heralded the uproar from the surge of rushing waters. Sisera’s fleet of iron chariots, his anxious hosts of infantrymen, and his archers were all caught in the eddy of a rising tide. Horse hooves broke, struggling for traction in a vain attempt to climb the slippery embankment. They were all swept away, abandoned to their grisly fate, washed away in the fast-moving rapids.

In ‘Gideon,’ Ganci pierces the veil with a penetrating vision of long-held Bible mysteries that are far and away daring and unusual. He works within a framework of an engaging and dramatized fiction that, while exceedingly rich in detail, remains faithful to uphold spiritual principals. He bases his work on three primary pillars:

The rock-solid cornerstone is biblical history and geography. The creative arch is revelatory in its timing and issues. The research is concrete, firmly rooted in customs, languages, and traditions.

The result is that book lovers are transported into the very midst of ancient conflicts and come away with an entirely fresh perspective on mystical teachings found in scripture, now living lessons filled with adventure that inspires wonder yet remain practical answering the challenges of everyday life.

Charlottesville And The Jewish Struggle with Hatred, Prejudice, And Violence – Joseph Ganci, Author Of New Spiritual Book, ‘Gideon: The Sound And The Glory,’ Issues Statement

Charlottesville served as a demonstration – of two very different kinds. First, there was a show by Nazis. In America. In 2017. Could we ever unsee those wild-eyed demonstrators, marching through town with the chants of “Jews will never replace us” and “Seig Heil” echoing through the streets? Certainly, Hitler would have been proud.

It was also a smack-in-the-face, an evident demonstration that things have not really changed in thousands of years. The struggles of the Jewish people did not begin, nor did they end with Nazi Germany. It began many centuries before. It continues to this day.

Charlottesville showed us that we, even in the year 2017, are still whistling in the graveyard of unrealized human potential. Joseph Ganci, the author of ‘Gideon, The Sound, And The Glory,’ recently issued a statement that shows us very little social progress is evident in the last three thousand years.

“Israel, which today is represented by the last organized tribe,” Ganci stated. “Judah, or commonly known as the Jews. They have survived as a people over the course of four millennia. The Jewish community has been the mainstay of acceptance and tolerance, and a corner stone of the highest ideals of democratic virtues-especially in the realm of religious freedom of expression. The Jews were and are stalwart defenders of the civil rights movement. Why are we allowing our fellow citizens and veterans forced to suffer violence and hatred? If we do not stand up in such opposition are we all but giving a passive permission? Are we not in fact heaping upon them unwarranted fear and misgiving, for both them and their children? These are prevalent and unfortunate attitudes. We even have to look past the Holocaust, past Shakespeare, and to their very roots in ancient history. Israel is God’s chosen people, and the glory of God is intelligence. I believe that the divine spark of intellect is the Hebrew legacy. Knowledge is power, and so the Jews are feared, mistrusted, and mistreated – making the ignorant arrogant, and violently vicious. This attitude is always spearheaded by a cruel tyrant with a low self-esteem out to prove that he is all-powerful. In other words, we wrestle against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

“The king spiced his political courting with the enticement of glory and spoil, saying, ‘I predict a beneficial outcome of lasting victory to our joint venture. This campaign will ensure the complete domination of our common foe so that Israel as a military force will be no more. We will gain the free labor of slaves, the one essential component necessary for the expansion of our empire.’ The princes of Midian nodded in agreement, encouraging the Jabin to continue spinning his web of conspiracy. ‘We could make secure, once and for all, the fertile valley of Jezreel. With its plentiful bounty, we could supply many ranks of iron wagons, feeding their legions of swordsmen, spearmen, and archers. This strategic center-place of strength is like the hub of a wheel, the spokes of which extend out to the tribes in the north and those to the south. We could easily wreak havoc in all the unorganized Hebrew tribes and, once again, enslave them.’

“We will return them to the familiar misery of their slavery, and those who refuse the rod and the yoke will be readily put to the sword—man, woman, or child. This will surely put an end to their growth as a nation and will bring them back into line so that we can bend them to our will now – and for all-time.”

‘Gideon: The Sound and the Glory’ has received rave reviews from readers and reviewers alike. A recent reviewer stated, “Joseph Ganci’s prose is arresting, peppered with fantastic imagery and succinct descriptions of plot, characters, and setting. The themes are masterfully created, and they are woven into the story in a way that allows the reader to enjoy both the inspiration the story offers and the accompanying action.

Modern Day Revelations Long Hidden In The Bible Revealed In Striking Detail And Published By Award-Winning Author Joseph Ganci in ‘Gideon: The Sound And The Glory’

Modern day revelations revealed in Ganci’s innovative and highly praised novel, book lovers find themselves in the very midst of ancient conflicts, only to be swept away with an entirely fresh perspective on mystical teachings found in scripture – now living lessons – filled with action and adventure.

[Sugar Land Texas. Jan 30, 2018] It is rare to discover any new revelations from the Bible in our fast-paced modern-age. It is rarer still to uncover facts that change a storyline or reframe generally accepted interpretations of events. Joseph Ganci, award-winning author of ‘Gideon: The Sound And The Glory’ has managed to do both.

“Diligent research and divine reasoning lead to many previously undiscovered Bible mysteries,” Ganci stated. “I invite anyone, anywhere, either scholar or novice to voice any and all alternative interpretations or conclusions based on enduring spiritual truths founded on scripture.”

“My last editor (a 16th generation Rabbi) said he read Judges 4-9 and First Samuel then he read my novel and then went back and studied the same passages again, and told me of his experience ‘I finally understand the stories like never before.’ I would challenge you to do the same.”

* Most have agreed that it is impossible to accurately define the precise nature of God until now it has remained an elusive mystery. In ‘Gideon: The Sound and The Glory,’ covering three chapters and precisely one hundred verses attempts to unravel this challenge. Gideon takes his three hundred men at midnight and attacks a strength of one hundred and thirty-two thousand Midianites. He divides his three hundred into three separate companies, each consisting of one hundred warriors. This division represents The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost acting as one man in perfect harmony and synchronization. The angel of Ophrah blessed Gideon, And the Lord said unto him, “Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.” “I believe this to be the true nature of God.” Ganci concluded.

* Many believe that Gideon’s determination to slay the Midian kings was only to destroy the Midian Empire. But, he was also driven by his overpowering need to balance the scales of justice. Gideon’s brother’s blood called out from the dust. A smoldering blood feud erupted for their murders by the very same kings now in Gideon’s custody, forty years before at the battle of Mount Tabor.

* It has always been misunderstood why Gideon had sent this message – And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, “Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan.” The Bethbarah is the shallow waters and the only fording place of the entire Jordan River. Gideon would be pursuing the remnants of the Midian camel cavalry south, and he believed into the waiting arms of the army of Ephraim He was driving the enemy like a hound to the hunter.

* Until now the name of Drumah, Gideon’s concubine, and his only one true love has been lost to the ages she was spoken only by Josephus the ancient historian. Ahimelech, was their love child, half Israel, and half Canaanite and he becomes the first, but, illegitimate king of Israel, and the king of Canaan at the same time. Abimelech conspired with his Canaanite cousins to kill his seventy half-brothers that represented a congress of judges and gain the coveted crown of king denied to him by his father, Gideon.

* It has never been recognized before that Gideon is a likeness of the coming of the Messiah as a spiritual warrior, as in the days of Midian, prophesied by Isaiah.

* Before now the description of Gideon, his son Jether, and his three hundred starving men and how they conquered an enemy of fifteen thousand on a secure plateau with the aid of fog and fire and with the power of God. The battle concluded before the sun came up.

* More modern-day revelations to be found in ‘Gideon’ include

* The first Trojan horse like scenario found in the Bible with general Barak and the Jabin king of Canaan.

The primary battle of Ephraim and the Midianites in the Jezreel Valley. Hidden for three millennia

The reason why Jotham, the only surviving half-brother from Abimelech’s Massacre, how and why he came to be on Mount Gerizim.

How, and why, Eli became the high priest at Shiloh.

Why were the golden mice in the Philistine cart?

Proof that the Ark of the Covenant resided in the house of God in Nob for nearly thirty years? This day revealed.

What were the contents of the Ark of the Covenant and all the spiritual aspects of the Tabernacle? Robes, furnishings and incense burner? No longer secret.

Why was David at the battle with Goliath?

The description of David’s battle at Keilah, and the significance of the Philistine cattle.

Crushing The Constitution – Nothing New Says Joseph Ganci, Award Winning Author Of New Spiritual Book ‘Gideon The Sound And The Glory’

In Ganci’s innovative and highly praised novel, book lovers find themselves in the very midst of ancient conflicts, only to be swept away with an entirely fresh perspective on mystical teachings found in scripture – now living lessons – filled with action and adventure.

[Wilmington, NC, January 10, 2018] Since practically the beginning of recorded history we have heard tales of ruling bodies and political establishments that have been reformed or perhaps overthrown by new or opposing political philosophies. We are living in the very middle of one such movement today.

Trump and others within the Republican Party seem to be focused on tearing the “Obama Legacy” up by the roots; not just changing or reorganizing, but rather by annihilating and utterly negating anything having to do with Obama’s administration.

The result of these melodramatic attempts at reorganization is that governments, markets, institutions, businesses and the public at large have become fearful, frustrated, moody and mistrustful.

Today political change in the US is accomplished through Executive Orders and formal processes of law. There are checks and balances in the Democratic political system. New political philosophies are implemented in a somewhat orderly, lawful fashion. That was not always the case.

“Few people would believe the Bible relates stories that are the equal of any great modern-day political upheaval, but it certainly does,” Ganci stated. There is nothing new under the sun. We have learned from sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, will immediately exercise abuse of power. Through any, and all despicable means to gain an irrational illusion of control over the affairs of free men.”

From ‘Gideon’s Glory’: A feast of red wine and the fatted calf of subtle diplomacy were prepared in a shrewd appeal for assistance in Abimelech’s quest for dominion. Abimelech gathered together his brethren in the house of his mother’s flesh and reminded them of the importance of blood, saying, “I need you to fill the ears of Shechem. Tell the citizens it is better for them that I rule. Having my rule will be particularly useful to you, my dear cousins, as you will, by all accounts, receive the greatest advantage of my generosity and bounty. Explain to them that I, Abimelech, will personally rule without malice and without the distractions born from the slow process of debate and consensus currently practiced by the council of seventy. I will dismiss with the edge of my blade the council of the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, who are hard-pressed to make the simplest decisions, always inclined to the benefit of Israel, never the cause of Canaan.”

Politicians And Leaders Who Overestimate Their Power Is Nothing New Says Joseph Ganci, Author Of New Spiritual Book, ‘Gideon: The Sound And The Glory’

In Ganci’s innovative and highly praised novel, book lovers find themselves in the very midst of ancient conflicts, only to be swept away with an entirely fresh perspective on mystical teachings found in scripture – now living lessons – filled with action and adventure.

[Houston, TX. Sept 28, 2017] America today is sharply divided into many fronts. Immigration and patriotism, everything from travel bans to sports teams refusing to stand for the National Anthem, are but two of the issues spawning screaming headlines in practically every newspaper, television outlet, radio program, and news website. When we add to these problems demonstrations of free speech that turn violent, the threat of a nuclear war nobody wants, climate change, healthcare and endless partisan bickering, we get a sharp and apparent picture of politicians who seem to have lost their grip on reality. Many appear to be completely out of touch with the voters who put them in office in the first place. All over America, citizens are organizing to resist leaders who seem obsessed with their power to divide, as opposed to bringing the country together. Joseph Ganci, author of ‘Gideon, The Sound And The Glory’ believes that this sad turn of events is but history repeating itself.

“We need only look at a timely quote by Joseph Smith Jr.,” Ganci stated. “Smith who is venerated as a prophet and seer by his people said, ‘We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion.’ That could be rephrased today to state, ‘As soon as they (Politicians) get a little authority, as they suppose, they will demonstrate, oppressive behavior – while embracing the illusion of control over the souls of free men.”

unrighteous dominion over the souls of free men.

“Many people see the Scriptures as old news, somewhat out of touch with the world as it is today,” Ganci stated. “Nothing could be further from the truth. Those who wield political power have overestimated their own power since Biblical times. For instance, in ‘Gideon’ we find this story which, with a little tweaking, could have been ripped from today’s headlines:”

“I am both Canaanite and Israelite, and as the one remaining son of Gideon, I will be the first king of this land and see to equal justice for all.”

All the men of Shechem, the House of Milo, and all the hirelings growled a weary cheer, while Ophrah looked on, dreading to hear who, or what might be next on Abimelech’s evil agenda. Abimelech continued after a brief silence. He had been expecting their acclaim and approval but received nothing from all those who had known him and his family as heroes and as pillars of the Community. Feeling disappointed, he continued, “We will replant the grove my grandfather, Joash, owned—the place that was the center of our pleasure and leisure. We will return to the worship of Baalim, and connect back to the ancient roots of our Amorite heritage. We will prosper greatly and glut our natural desires. Our city will plead with Moloch for his favor when we pass our children through the fire.”

Jadzia, Jether’s wife, now one of the many stunned and grieving widows yelled out, “Who are you, to tell us to pass our children through the inferno?” “If you truly believe this, then YOU now would be a heap of charred bone and decrepit flesh, less than carrion, not fit for worms, Abimelech.”

Abimelech, red-faced with rage addressed his former sister in law; “I will dismiss your outburst of rebellion because of your sudden sorrow, but hear me now Jadzia, if one more word passes your lips you and your children will be the first to embrace the sacrificial blaze. Do not charge me, woman, or you will join this night’s blood-soaked holocaust.”

The hush had a weight for the lack of breath. Abimelech gamely returned to his speech making without the slightest twinge of conscience or regret.

Hatred and violence are part and parcel of the human condition. We nevertheless like to believe, in this modern day and age, we have become more refined, cosmopolitan and enlightened. But have we made progress? The recent events in Charlottesville might make us pause before answering that question. Have we, as a society, managed to eliminate hatred, violence, and vengeance? Or are we still whistling in the graveyard of unrealized human potential? Joseph Ganci, the author of ‘Gideon, The Sound, And The Glory,’ recently issued a statement that shows us very little social progress is evident in the last three thousand years. Also, the current political landscape and modern-day happenings seem to mirror events related in the Bible.

“The years of Gideon, the son of Joash, were many. Israel enjoyed the sweet fruits of peace and prosperity. Gideon’s judgments always proclaimed the highest moral compassion. Gideon refused to be king, either his sons or their sons. For he labored all his days in the service of God and for Israel. Gideon sought no worldly acclaim or require the taxing bread from the sweat of another man’s toil. He practiced love and tolerance and led by example. Gideon was always even-handed under the law – for both Israel and Canaan; both flourished under his leadership.”

“Upon the death of Gideon, a political coup was in the making. Gideon’s spoiled love child Abimelech, which means, ‘my father is king,’ would take evil under his wing. Abimelech would be king at all costs, descending to the wholesale slaughter of his seventy brothers – destroying Israel’s congress of judges. He pitted Canaan against Israel with nefarious allegations – and with the promise of a former glory, and all to gain power over their neighbors.”

“Abimelech took possession of the Baal-bereth, a well-meaning covenant with the Lord of hosts. Gideon created as a token to prove his undying love and affection for Jehovah. Abimelech turned this pure-gold and jewel-encrusted artifact into an evil standard to ensnare the righteous – and rally the rabel back into the idolatry of hatred, violence – and vengeance.”

“Three thousand years have passed, but history has taught us little, or nothing? For in every age an ‘Abimelech’ raises his ugly head, and for the sake of control that pits brother against brother. And so, encourages carnage and mayhem to satisfy one insatiable man’s lust for fame, fortune, and unrighteous dominion over the souls of men.”

Charlottesville is a sad example of self-will run riot. Charlottesville has become an Ideology battle ground over the removal of all things, a statue. What matters is that a human life was sacrificed in a vain attempt to procure a political advantage. King Solomon was quite correct when he proclaimed that “There is nothing new under the sun.) what is new is that evil reared its violent head in Charlottesville.
